Fuck, man, take it down a notch.
- swombat 16y agoSorry, the triple-whammy in the first paragraph got me ruffled up. I care about grammar.
- rewind 16y agoIt's not that I disagree with you; I just thought you could of been a bit less harsh.
- gruseom 16y agoI don't think swombat was being mean so much as passionate (about good English, a worthy subject) and concerned (for the author, who badly needs to hear this). In other words, tough love! Edit: it's probably worth pointing out why founders should care about basic grammar: not knowing it is bad for business. It makes you seem what Russians call bezgramotny (our closest word is "illiterate" but a better translation in this case might be "grammarless"). This makes it harder to impress successful people.
- rewind 16y agoSome people get annoyed by bad grammar. Other people get annoyed when every grammar mistake is pointed out. Ninety-five percent (or more) of the people who read that saw the mistakes. We could potentially have a grammar conversation about every post with a grammar error. Discussions can get pretty meta as it is. These grammar-related observations never having anything to do with whatever point the article is trying to make, and they're just stating the obvious. We can all see the grammar is weak.
- WarDekar 16y ago"It's not that I disagree with you; I just thought you could of been a bit less harsh" Was this intentional? Or did you just skip over his post entirely because it was "too harsh"
- rewind 16y agoIt was intentional and meant to be lighthearted. Tough crowd.
